DT Swiss G540 Shutter Precision PL-7 dynamo hand-built front wheel

A DT Swiss G540 rim laced 32-spoke to a Shutter Precision PL-7 dynamo front hub, built by hand in our Marrickville workshop, tensioned, stress-relieved and trued before it leaves the bench. Our Pro wheel build and tubeless tape fitted are included and show as two free lines in your cart.

Dynamo

The Shutter Precision PL-7 is a dynamo hub: it makes 6 V 3 W as the wheel turns, enough for any standard 6 V dynamo light. Built for gravel, touring and all-road riding. Choose a black or silver hub on the hub row. The light, its cable and the hub's spade-clip connectors are not included: SP connector clips are sold separately.

Before you order — what your bike decides

• Light — a 6 V dynamo light (not a battery or e-bike light).
• Front axle — 12 × 100 only on this front wheel: check the fork lowers.
• Rotor mount — Centre Lock only on this front wheel: check your rotors.

Colour: pick it from the dropdown.

Who it is for

For gravel and all-road riding on a disc-brake bike. Not for MTB use — an ASTM 2 rim. For a lighter gravel wheel ask about the GR531. Sold as a front wheel; ask us for the matching rear wheel or the full set.

The rider's questions

• How much can it carry? Max system weight (rider, bike and gear) 130 kg — the DT Swiss G540 rating, the lowest-rated part of the build.
• What tyres fit? 32–50 mm tyres are DT's recommended range for a 24 mm inner width; 29–30 mm and 52–69 mm are possible; the tyre's own maximum pressure applies, the rim sets none.
• Warranty? DT Swiss parts 24 months from purchase; our build work is guaranteed. Any claim comes back to Tune Cycles — see the Warranty tab.
• How long does it take? Built to order from supplier stock — we confirm the build date by email when you order.
• Colours? Hubs in Black or Silver; the rims are black.

Kit includes

• DT Swiss G540 32H front rim, 700c (24 mm internal, sleeve-jointed, ASTM 2)
• Shutter Precision PL-7 dynamo front hub, 32H: Centre Lock · 12 × 100 · colours Black or Silver
• 32 × DT Swiss Competition 2.0/1.8/2.0 double-butted black J-bend spokes (front)
• DT Swiss brass nipple pack, black — the rim ships without nipples

Options: hub colour Black or Silver · tubeless valves (50 mm, up to 1).

Everything in the Front Wheel box is built in. The rows under Upgrades are optional: tick what you want and the price updates. If you want us to lace a rim or hub you already own, that is a workshop job — contact us for a quote.

Sold separately (shown with this kit): tubeless sealant (Muc-Off No Puncture 140 ml), RT-CL700 160 mm Centre Lock rotor, the Shimano SM-RTAD05 adapter (runs a 6-bolt rotor on a Centre Lock hub; not with SM-RT86 / RT76 aluminium-carrier rotors), tyres to suit (sizes above). Rotors: one per wheel, to match your rotor mount and your brake caliper's size range.

How we build it

Every wheel is laced by hand in Marrickville, brought up to tension evenly to the lower of the rim and hub limits (1200 N), stress-relieved and trued, then checked again before it is packed. Tubeless tape (27 mm) is fitted to the rim; add valves and sealant and it is ready for tyres.

Tune Cycles builds and fits these wheels. If you are unsure what your frame, fork or drivetrain takes, ask us before you order.
